Listener 4581 Transformers By Yorick

[Hagen]

Gosh, that was a workout and a half! I'm not certain I've got the final transcription right, but I'm not too bothered as I don't send in. It's clear what's required, though there's plenty of room for error here. Initially I thought that the jigsaw element was a complication too far, and perhaps it is, but it all added to the fun. The clues were as tough as the A-team but totally fair. Terrific puzzle, thanks Yorick.

Excellent puzzle. Group 3 was the weak entry point for us which enabled us to work out what was going on. Apologies if being Scots gave us an advantage with half a dozen or so clues. Next week should be a numerical (?), which we don’t do.

Gosh that was difficult - fantastic puzzle though. I predict it will be the puzzle this year with the most incorrect entries.

[Cruncher]

Golly gosh. Head spinning somewhat. I suspect it will indeed prune down the dinner invites.

[Philoctetes]

Interesting that there are so few comments here! It was tricky from start to finish, but scrupulously fair, accurately described, and very well constructed. Do we want more from a Listener?

This has kept me occupied for almost a week. The clues were devilish and I failed to cold solve 8 of them. I took the plunge and found the piecing together not as bad as originally feared.

Good luck to John Green checking these -- a headache will result methinks, although, hopefully for him, the entry could be low.

Great puzzle and an excellent diversion from all the work I'm doing at the moment.

Thanks, Yorick.
